2 Outline Limitations of previous studies led to development of experiment using chemostat culture and low temperature acclimation. S. cerevisiae was grown in four different experimental conditions. DNA microarray analysis was used to analyze growth limitations applied to S. cerevisiae. S. cerevisiae stores carbohydrates during chemostat culture for unknown reasons. Promoter analysis reveals regulation trends in gene regulation. Temperature response genes overlap in expression. The genes that are responsible for adaptation and acclimation are expressed separately. Environmental stimulation responses differed in batch vs. chemostat cultures.

4 Chemostat culture allows for fixed experimental conditions Chemostat culture involves the continuous addition of fresh medium. Allows for control of growth factors. Specific growth rate can be measured accurately. Batch culture is a closed system which does not allow for accurate measurement of specific growth rate.

5 Low-temperature acclimation and cold shock have differing results Cold shock entails a rapid decrease to near freezing temperatures. Low-temperature acclimation is the biological response of cells to steady decreases to near freezing temperatures. Trehalose is required for transcription in low temperature situations. Not present in low temperature acclimation results.

7 S. Cerevisiae grown in varying conditions of temperature and nutrient content Table 1 S. Cerevisiae is minimally affected by variation in temperature. Higher temperatures correlated with lesser amounts of a limiting nutrient corresponding residual residue. Larger amounts of residual glucose at 12 C connected to possible contamination of gene sets.

13 S. cerevisiae stores protein and carbohydrate in chemostat culture Table 2 Trehalose and glycogen biosynthesis occurs under stress conditions. Biosynthesis varies with temperature. Reason for storage of carbohydrates in nonfreezing temperature in unclear. Trehalose was not produced in tps1 and tps2 strains, yet did not affect viability. Tai et al., 2007

A very small number of genes overlap in response to both temperature decrease and growth rate decrease. Tai et al., 2007
